A CHILD'S SKIN,
Ears and Scalp Covered with Ecze-
matOus Scabs and Sores,
Cured by Cuticura.

MY little son, aged 8 years, has been
afflicted with Eczema of the scalp,
aud ut Tunes a great portion of the body,
ever since he Was 2 years old. 1t began
IN his ears, and extended to his scalp,
which became covered with scabs aud
sores and from which a sickly fluid poured
out, causing Intense itching and distress,
and leaving his hair matted and lteless
Underneath these scabs the skin was raw
like "a piece of beefsteak. Gradually the
hair came out and was DESTROYED, until
but a small patch was left ut the back OF
the head. My friends In Peabody know
how my little boy has suffered. At night
he would scratch his head until his pillow
Was covered with blood. | used to tie his
hands behind him and in many ways tried
u prevent his scratching: but it was Of NO
use; he wOu scratch. l took hun to the
hospital and To the best physicians in Pea
body without success. About this time
some friends who had been cured by the
Cuticura Remedies prevailed upon me To
try them. l began TO use them ON the
10Th OF January last. In seven months
every particle OF the disease was removed.
Not a spot or scaD remains on his scalp to
tell the story OF his suffering. His hair
has returned and is thick aud strong and
MS scalp rs sweet anu Clean as any child 8
IN the world. | cannot say enough to ex
press my gratitude for this wonderful cure
by the Cuticura Remedies, and wish all
similarly afflicted to know that my state
ment Is true and without exsggeration.

NOTHING more furcibly illustrates the
disquiet and uncertainty of the future of
republican institutions in France than the
fact that the controlling element 10 the
popular party moves chiefly by negations
1t pulls down but it does not build up. 1t
maintains a perpetual menace of war, but
it dos not fight. By its very incompetent
cy it keeps alive the spiri of revolution
and encourages the various groups OF
monarchists to hope for a turn which may
rest ore one of the old regimes.

You have nothing to do-how easily
you yield TO indisposition.
You ave an engagement, you have an
article TO write, a dress to make, q field
TO till, a harvest to gather, a horse to
groom, a store to open, and occupation Of
some sort or other whose call is peremp-
tory and must be obeyed-what a stineuer
Of nerve and muscles an engagement is.
How infinitely less prone one is to yield to
an i~ndisposition, q pain or a suggestion
OF idleness and ease.
Work Is the best medicine.
Exercise is its right hand man. Occu-
patton is what mankind needs, and just
20 o as we retire from life we may be-
gin TO prepare for death, for life is Il quick
fmitator, and will retire from us, acting
on the hint given, hat we are weary OF
the burden and wish to shake it.-Joe

fully restored to health by his stay at
Bournenouth, on the south coast Of Eng
land (where Mr.. Parnell has GOMEZ. He
will sail for home next month. He Is
pleased with Mr.. Fairchild's appoint
ment; and he says of the treasury surplus
that it would be the height Of folly to go
into the market and buy up bonds that
are not due, and pay a premium for them
thus favoring the bondholders; and
adds: The only proper way to get rid OF

VIRaIsIA authorities cannot agree with
the representatives OF the London holders
Of the bonds of that state, says a tole
gram. In other words, Virginia means
to repuuiate a part of her pledged obliga
tious. This will be- the most unfortun ate
step that Virginia could take. The
Mother Of Presidents has a great deal
to u~nlearn and to learn; and one lesson is,
that she could much better afford another
Sheridan raid through the Shenandoah
valley and ION to Richmond than to re

THE SUNDAY LAW DECLAR-
ED CONSTITUTIONAL.

Judge Alfred Roman. OF Section
A, Criminal District Court for the
Parish OF Orleans, last Monday
rendered his decision on the ques-
ton of the jurisdiction Of tie Civil
District Courts OF the Parish OF Or.
leans. and their power to Issue in
functions to restrain and prevent
the officers o! the Criminal Dis
trict Courts of New Orleans from
proceeding to enforce the Louisi-
ana Sunday Law.
The Judge rendered an able
and interesting opinion. but it is
too lengthy for our columns.
He held that the Civil District
Courts had no power to enjoin OF
in any manner prevent the action
of the Criminal District Courts or
their officers from prosecuting n
case declared by law to be criminal,
under Article $50 of the Louisiana
Constitution.
Relative to the pretended uncon-
stitutionality Of the Act Of the
Legislature Judge Roman decide !
that the law is constitutional, and
in support Of the opinion, he cited
a long list Of authorities taken from
many States Ct this country.
In closing, he said the law says
nothing of religion, nor.
Ito use the language of Justice
Poche.) has it the least pretcnsion
to impose any religions observance
upon any one. as be who reads it
may gee.
After the above decision was rem
dered by Judge Roman. Judge G. !
H. Braughn, OF counsel for Messrs.
Jos. A. Walker and Val Merz. filed
m application in the Supreme
Court for a writ Of prohibition and |
certiorari.
Chief Justice Bermudez then H.
,ued an order staying all proceed
ngs. and ordering Judge Roman
md District Attorney Adams to
how cause. on Monday next, the
18th inst. why the relief sought
hould not be granted.
We suppose the action OF the
supreme Court. next Monday. will
definitely settle the Sunday Law
question, one way or the other.
either the law is constitutional, or
is not; and this question should
. finally decided upon. without
ny unnecessary delay.

DECISION AGtINSr- THE ST
TAMMANY WATER
! WORKS COMPANY.

Among the d. cisions rendered by
the United States Supreme Court.
at Warrington. ID. c.. last Mon
day, we note the following:
No. ~. st. Tammany Water
works COMPANY. appellant. VS.. the
New Orleans Waterworss Com
pany.-United States Circuit Count,
Eastern District Of Louisiana.
Jnd yment of lower court affirmed.
with costs In tb care the court
followed its decision in the Rivers
case. and held that the New Or
leans Wa:erw"rks Company had
exclusive rights.
This was sn;t brought by tie
New Orleans Waterworks Company
against the st. Tamnany Water
works Company. to have the latter
enjoincd from infringing on the ex-
elusive privileges granted to New
Orleans Waterworks Company by
its act of incorporation. In the
opinion of this court it is impossi
Die to distinguish this case in prin-
cipal from that Of The New Or
leans Wa,erworks Company VS..
Rivers"
Upon the authority Of that case
it must be held that the CARRYING
out 10y The appellant of its scheme
for a system of Waterworks in New
Orleans would be in violation If
the contract rights Of & ap.
pellee and Of the Constitution Of
1879.
So far as il assumes to withdraw
the exclusive privileges granted Ia
the appellee. it is inconsistent will.
the clause of the National Constiti-
ton forbidding a State from pass
ing any law imi.airins the obliga-
lion of contracts.
Thus another great monopoly
has been perpetuated in New Or
leans, and it seems that the clause
in the Constitution OF 1879. forbid
ding the granting of exclusive priv
legea, is unconstitutional. 1t is
strange that some of the big dry

manufacturers. newspaper publish

elusive rights. aud they will ,lonlt-
